Please address personal email to:-
briang1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, putting 'Brian Gaff'
in the display name field.

I don't particularly mind having the links read as well but what I do
find annoying is that NVDA stops reading when it gets to a word that has
an embedded link. If it could read this word or set of word even if it
reads the embedded links as well that would be fine as long as it
continues reading. Thanks.

articles without hearing that it was a link on almost every word as has
been said.

Making sure the name 'Brian Gaff' is in the display name field.
Failure to do this may result in delays or message loss.
Some sacrifices are a fact of life in our junk mail riddled world!
